American Southern Cooking Comes to London

I love my adopted home in the UK. The street style is over-the-top and inspiring and the up-and-coming designers are courageous.

There are some drawbacks, of course, like the expense of living here, the weather, and, well, the food leaves more to be desired. If you want good food in London, you have to pay exorbitantly.

Enter Blues Kitchen, bringing American Southern, down-home cooking fused with our famous live blues tradition to the UK. All the main courses are under ten pounds, which by London standards, may as well be free. And it's yummy stuff, like jumbo lump crab cakes and po' boy sandwiches.

As far as music, it's live and happening every single night of the week. Expect resident bands, jam nights, classic soul all-nighters, rhythm and blues, and of course DJs for those nights when you are munching on Mississippi mud pie at 2.30 in the morning in between bouts of tearing up the dancefloor. It's in Camden, which is a bit on the outskirts of the city, but it's worth the travel for affordable, good eats and live music. It's not meant to be a relaxed blues scene either: The establishment wants you to get riotous over the music, but then again, what do you expect from a place that has one of the most extensive lists of bourbon in London—over forty strong.
